Stampin’ Up! GDP133 Happy Birthday

Leave a Comment

Before I get to my project for today I’d like to thank everyone for the kind comments on yesterday’s post.  It means a lot and keeps me motivated 🙂 .

It’s a color challenge for the Global Design Project.  I’m using the Birthday Wishes for You from the Occasions Catalog.

Birthday Wishes for You Clear-Mount Stamp Set

This stamp is perfect to color in various ways.  I heat embossed the image on Vellum and colored the back with Stampin Blends and a Tranquil Tide marker.

I chose to use some of the stamps from Hanging Garden for the color challenge from the Paper Players.  Since Elegant Eggplant will be retiring I will probably be using it as much as I can before the first of June.  Now is a good time to pick up any of the retiring items if they are on your wish list.

and my card:

The hanging plants made me think they would be perfect on a porch or deck.  Of course you need a place to sit so the Adirondack chair from Seasonal Layers Thinlits was just what I needed.

I colored the baskets with ink and a blender pen.  I did use the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend for the basket frame.  I used the Stamparatus so I could isolate the “Thank You’ from the rest of the sentiment.

I really like the inside sentiment.  We definitely need more kindness in the world!

Stampin’ Up! JUG435 Happy Birthday

I know I’ve been MIA for quite a while…..I’ve been working on Taxes…not so much fun and preparing to attend On Stage in Las Vegas.  While there my husband and I celebrated our 46th Wedding Anniversary.  Time flies 🙂 . I am so lucky that my best friend is so supportive of my stamping addiction.  I haven’t done any stamping until now and I’m glad to be back.

Today’s challenge from Just Us Girls is : BOLD.  This card is bright and easy to duplicate.  The Happy Birthday Thinlits are the star of the card.

Okay and the Painted with Love Specialty DSP is no slouch either.  🙂

I added Wink of Stella to the letters to add a little sparkle.

The inside greeting from Special Celebrations is one of my current favorites.
